For John, BLUF: This is, of course, mockery, but it is funny, in its own way. For sure the DPRK Concentration Camps are abysmal places. Nothing to see here; just move along.
Here is the sub-headline:
People have been leaving largely positive reviews for the Yodok Concentration Camp on Google, which has previously been reported by one ex-detainee as being "worse than Auschwitz"
From The Daily Star (UK), by Digital Reporter Joshua Smith, 21 FEB 2021, 19:40.
Here is the lede plus four:
Google Maps users have found out that reviews have been left for a North Korea concentration camp on the platform.Indeed they do.The reviews, which are mostly positive, have been left for the Yodok Concentration Camp.
The camp, about 110km northeast of the country's capital of Pyongyang, was used to segregate those seen as enemies of the state, punish them for political misdemeanors and put them to hard labour but was reportedly closed down in 2014.
But that hasn't stopped people leaving reviews for the torture camp on Google.
Posting a video of the discovery on Reddit, one user wrote: "Turns out North Korean concentration camps have reviews on Google."
I am glad to see humor, even macabree humor, is still alive and well.
